Penis Yeast Infection

Most of the time a penis yeast infection is found on the skin on the
outside of a man's penis and affects uncircumcised men much more often
than men that have been circumcised. Penile yeast infections for
circumcised men are actually quite rare because the glans is always
exposed to the air. This keeps it dry and at a cooler temperature. Yeast
needs heat and moisture to survive on the skin.

Sometime the yeast infection can get into the urethra and cause
problems. In these cases men get close to the same symptoms as women do
when they have a vaginal yeast infection. There can be discharge from
the penis and often it itches on the inside and is extremely
uncomfortable. There have been cases of the yeast getting into the
prostate gland but this is rare.

Men can get a penis yeast infection from sex with a woman that
has a vaginal yeast infection; from oral sex from a person with thrush,
or from anal sex with an infected individual.

Nonoxynol-9 is a common spermicide found in contraceptive
products that has been found to rapidly increase the growth of naturally
occurring yeast’s both in the vagina and on the skin.

Diabetes and of course antibiotics can play a role as well but
with penile yeast infections this possible cause is not as common as
intestinal yeast. However, intestinal yeast overgrowth can be a
contributing factor of any skin yeast condition.

Once the yeast has infected the skin the infections can be very
hard to get rid of. In time the skin will harden as the skin cells
macrophage in defense of the infection. This hardened skin will crack
when the male gets an erection and is extremely painful. At this point
it can become very hard to resolve. It is much easier to get rid
of this type yeast infection in the early stages than the later stages.

Many men just think they have a penis yeast infection when they see little white bumps on the penis known as
Fordyce disease.
These spots are completely harmless and are actually sebaceous glands
that secrete oils for the protection of the skin. Other men have a
condition called
Hirsuties papillaris genitalis,
also called pearly penile papules, which is also harmless but can be
sensitive at times. These are actually sweat glands or sebaceous glands
on the penis as well.

Genital warts are also misdiagnosed as yeast and if you use white
vinegar for your penis yeast infection it turns them white. More
information on white vinegar for treating a penis yeast infection can be
found below.

Treating a Penis Yeast Infection

Many guys will make a trip to see their doctors for their
penile yeast infection and get some Diflucan in the pill or cream form.
Others will pick up some Monistat 7 that women buy over the counter and
use for vaginal yeast infections. These things do work, but they don't
seem to work for everyone. Many times the infection gets better for a
while and then comes back, just like it does for women.

What do you do if that happens?

The best thing to do is not to let it get to that point. That is
the point where the yeast has become resistant to anti-fungals and is much
harder to get rid of. It is of course much easier to prevent these
infections than it is to get rid of them but no one ever worries about
that until after the fact.

Some natural anti-fungal products for penis yeast infections you can use are:

Gentian Violet
is an older class anti-fungal that was used for years with great
success before the invention of the azole drugs, which could be
patented. It is natural and non-toxic and works well for yeast
infections of the skin. It does have a habit of turning your clothes
purple but people have reported that Zout takes out the stain.

Organic Coconut Oil
is a medically proven anti-fungal and works by exploding the nucleus
and plasma of the inside of the yeast cell, which of course kills it. It
makes a great personal lubricant for sex and helps prevent recurrences
and yeast infections in your significant other. You should also take a
tablespoon or two by mouth everyday to treat the inside as well.

Colloidal Silver Gel has been found to kill penile yeast very quickly and is completely safe
if you use a quality product. If you don't it will turn you and your
skin blue.

ProFase can be used by emptying the capsule directly onto the penis yeast
infection and the active bacteria will go to work killing the yeast.
This is the same principle that is involved with many people trying to
cure this by using unsweetened and natural yogurt without the mess. Plus
you get a much higher dose of more effective strains of good bacteria
and it’s easier to take it everyday day by mouth for the inside.

Oregano Oil
diluted in olive or coconut oil so it does not burn the skin can be
very effective for penile yeast infection. It has been used successfully
to treat yeast infections of the scalp in people I personally know.
Skin is skin guys so I have no doubt it will work on your penis but just
make sure you dilute it.

However, I have worked with guys who have applied oregano oil
directly to late stage penile yeast that had hardened from macrophaging
of the skin. They all said it burned like hell but it did eventually
clear the infection.

Cinnamon Oil
was found to be deadly against oral thrush when applied directly to the
infection. Therefor it can be used directly on penis yeast infections
as well. You might have to dilute like you do with oregano oil.

Some guys swear by white vinegar and others say it does not work.
In either case if you apply it straight it is going to burn like hell.
So its best to add it to a bath and soak for a while or dilute it before
soaking your penis yeast infection.

Grapefruit seed extract is a medically proven yeast killer. But just like cinnamon oil and oregano oil, it's hot so you will have to dilute it.

Potassium sorbate
can be used when mixed with a little water to make a paste directly on
the infection. It might burn a little so be careful. Potassium sorbate
is the ingredient used to stop the growth of yeast when making beer.

Some men have reported relief using yogurt and Braggs Apple Cider vinegar.

Yeast grows best in a warm moist
environment so it is best to keep your penis as dry as possible. Trim the hair as short as possible to reduce retained
moisture and body heat.

Restrict the sugar in your diet because sugar feeds yeast and the yeast will eat it right out of your blood stream.

The best thing to do is pick 3 or 4 of the above methods to treat
your penis yeast infection and use all of them on a rotating basis. You
should do this because yeast builds resistance to anti-fungals and they
become ineffective with time if you stick with one thing. So if you use
3 or 4 of them you can use one for 4 or 5 days then stop and use the
next for 4 or 5 days. This also allows you to find what works best for
you because unfortunately, not every product works for everyone.

It is highly suggested that treatment be continued for 30 days
after all symptoms have subsided to make sure you get it all. It is also
advisable to treat your significant other so when the time comes they
do not give it to you again.

You can use any of these methods above for penis yeast infection
prevention every week or two. Probably the easiest thing to do is use
coconut oil as a personal lubricant with your significant other, which
of course takes care of the both of you at one time.

If your penis yeast infection does not respond you probably have
herpes and what you are looking at are herpes sores, not yeast.

You cannot get rid of herpes but you can easily keep it under
control. Herpes is a virus and like any other virus travels from cell to
cell by secretion of an enzyme that digests a hole in the cell wall.
Once inside, the virus wines and dines and alters the genetic code of
the cell. It then digests a way out and enters the cell next to the
infected cell by the same process.

By taking things that strengthen the cell wall, the virus will be
able to enter the cell but it is much harder for it to do so. However, a
strong cell will not let the virus get out and spread to the next cell.
The immune system then has the time to target the bad cell and remove
it from the body.

Cell walls are made out of 60% collagen, 35% fats, and 5% is
various other common minerals. Collagen is primarily made out of vitamin
C, L-Lysine, and L-Proline. So if you supplement with these things on a
daily basis your herpes infection will not become active. I suggest a
pre-made formula called
Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids, Querticin, Green Tea, L-lysine and L-Proline.
I suggest 4 capsules four times a day for the first week or two then 4 to 8 capsules a day for maintenance.

I will be making a donation soon; I
finally found a job after 2 years of unemployment, and after just 9
weeks on the diet I have lost 60 pounds of pure fat from a size 39+ to a
fit 33. I have no candida visible and feel like a new person. My penis
is no longer an embarrassment. It's All healed up.

My Dr. can't believe I have lost
this weight and has tested me for all kinds of "disease" as he is trying
to convince me "there is no such thing as male yeast infection" I
worked for the hospital for 8 years as a home health care giver so I
don't bother arguing I know how they work.

I have not been able to afford many
of the suggested products yet. But have been eating garlic by the ounce
powdered and raw (8+ ounces a week) raw white onion and coconut oil as
well as all the herbs recommended. I have taken all the to avoid food
suggestions 99%. I still sneak a cup of black coffee now and then.

My room mate (patient) finally got
to see his Dr. as he wanted a dose of Diflucan, however his Dr. refused
as he showed no signs off "thrush" or any other yeast infection for the
first time in 12 years. (yea he is hiv+) he lost 50 lbs of unneeded fat
and started bowling and walking.

Not that anyone cares but my dog is also much healthier , regular , and cleaner . He loves the diet.

*******I have to say your diet and
suggestions have done for this 50+ year old man and my home what no
doctor could do for well over a decade.

Thank you,

Mike

Dan,

I wanted to thank you for your reply, and the very useful
information in it and on your site. After suffering with a very painful
infection for several months, your suggestions cleared the problem up
within a few days, and after following the treatment protocol for a
week, it seems completely healed. I know with my weight & diabetes
that this may be an ongoing struggle, but I was thrilled to have some
control over this finally.
